Thank you that’s lovely to hear. Good on him.
Good for you! Congratulations! Will enjoy one glass of wine in your honour and another for my son (he's over a year into it and I'm so proud of him). It's a tough road but keep on it.
Nip down to the River Liffey, thats the water that Guinness is "supposed" to be made from and have a swim.I do miss bathing in it.
Mithering.
Dry wine and spirits are ok. Beer and sweet coctails are no no. But in limited quantity.
eg Metformin.But also check if medications say avoid alcohol because that's usually there for a reason.
That was my first concern. I have almost every type of alcohol one could imagine at home but rarely drink. I do always have red wine when eating at relatives who don't understand what low carb means and when having celebratory family meals. Works well for me also love brandy, bourbon and single malts - no mixers. All work well and allow flexibilty in diet without making a fuss in restaurants and other people's homes.eg Metformin.
XXXX Gold which is a low carb mid strength 3.5% beer. I
It tastes as good as it looks.
Nothing like a nice cold Goldy, when you're eating a feed of mud crabs and prawns mate.Only banana benders like it.
Never mind mate, there is always this year to break the drought.
Bears, I wouldn’t be so cruel plus they’ve got teeth and claws ! Stick to beer, I find it tastes less of bear@Fiona29 - As the others have said, sensible drinking of alcohol is fine, if you can avoid the sweet stuff. Very dry white wine, or champagne, red wine of spirits, plus a diet mixer are fine. Bears tend to be tricky for T2, not on hefty medication and any cocktails involving sugary syrupy would likely be a challenge.
My nurse once told me that red wine is an excellent choice as not only is it heart healthy, but also helps lower BS levels whilst it is in your system, but warned me not to use it as medicine!! She also said it is best taken with or after food and not before. I ignored that bit because I like a small glass before dinner.
Sorry for keep mithering, I'm still getting used to this lol.
Here goes.... is alcohol a definite no no?
